Book Scanner 5005MAX
The BookScanner 5005MAX is a large-format overhead book scanner built for high-resolution digitisation of oversized and fragile materials. It removes the risks associated with flatbed and sheet-fed scanners by scanning from above, protecting bindings while producing sharp, distortion-free images at production speeds.
With the largest scan area in its class and true optical resolution up to 400 dpi, the BookScanner 5005MAX handles large bound volumes, newspapers, maps, ledgers, and flat documents with confidence. Its advanced imaging system, fast bi-directional scanning, and self-adjusting book cradle make it well suited to archives, libraries, service bureaus, and preservation projects that demand both quality and throughput.
Micrographic Engineering Services is an authorised dealer of Indus scanners in Australia.
